Throngs of Cougs will crowd Seattle streets. The marching band will play, cheerleaders will dance, foam fingers will point toward the sky.

WSU’s first football game is always a fun raucous event—a sensory overload of crimson and gray, spirit and pride, high hopes and Cougar camaraderie.

This year’s game is Aug. 28 against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights at CenturyLink Field. But close to the field will be another, more exclusive, event. Global Campus students, family and friends are invited to a free tailgate party from 3:30-6:30 p.m. at Henry’s 1st Avenue Tavern, 1518 1st Avenue South. There will be free food, giveaways, and a chance to rest your vocal chords before cheering the Cougs on to victory.

For the second consecutive year, Washington State University has decided to hold the line against tuition increases.

The Board of Regents recently voted for a zero percent increase for the 2014-15 academic year. “We don’t want to see students in the state of Washington get priced out," said Connie Niva, chair of the Board of Regents.

You’re invited to join fellow Global Campus students for a free day at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo. The event includes free admission, a catered lunch on the zoo meadow, a close look at some animals with zoo staff, and free face painting. If you want to see for yourself, have a look at this slide show from last year’s gathering.

The event is 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Aug. 16, and you can bring up to five guests. It’s presented by your student government, ASWSU Global.

What do you need to do? Just two things: Sign up by Aug. 5. And bring a photo ID to the zoo.
